[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rumors that Blake/Ryan are planning to sue their lawyers for malpractice continue. But, Plot Twist! Mark Garagos (Bryan Freedman’s bestie), said Gottlieb and co made sure to conduct the settlement under California jurisdiction so that they can’t be sued. Apparently there’s a law in California precluding people from suing their lawyers for malpractice if they settle privately. Garagos said there’s a saying that you get the lawyer you deserve lol.[/quote]

Take a moment to ask yourself why "Bryan Freedman's bestie" is being interviewed about this case, and why he would be sharing info about where the settlement proceeding were held, what Lively's lawyers' strategy and motivations were, or what Lively is now personally considering. Is he a good resource for that info? What is his involvement in the case? Do we think Lively or her lawyers are confiding in him? Let's think.[/quote]

PP - Mark Garagos is a famous lawyer in his own right who happens to also be freedman’s bestie. He always discloses it when talking about Bryan so it doesn’t seem like he’s being deceptive. But Mark does a podcast with the tmz guy, has a pod with another lawyer, and is a regular guest on Megyn Kelly. Basically he’s always talking and gets paid to do so. He didn’t just come out of the woodwork to talk about lively, he’s a regular commentator. He’s retired but his daughter is a young up and coming defense attorney. She was on the diddy case and is now on the Weinstein appeal. [/quote]

And... why would he have special insight into what Lively or her lawyers are thinking? He isn't friends with them. But he has a strong motivation to imply negative things about her. So maybe it would be worth it to take the things he says with a grain of salt. Especially since he spends a lot of time gabbing with TMZ and Megyn Kelly, which both traffic in sensationalism.[/quote]

If there’s one thing we all should have learned from this case, it’s that where there’s smoke there’s fire. The blinds, tmz, they all have sources. These rumors are out there because there’s some there there. Doesn’t mean Blake will sue her lawyers, but it’s reasonable to believe she’s unhappy with them. And it’s also reasonable to believe that they would be strategic enough to inoculate themselves from a lawsuit. Just look at all the trickery they did for Blake.[/quote]

No, I do not think we have learned that, and you also didn't answer the question.

Bryan Freedman's "bff" has been making the rounds of talk shows saying that Blake is considering suing her lawyers and that her lawyers made sure to conduct settlement negotiations in CA to avoid being sued. This indicates personal, direct knowledge of private conversations between Blake and her husband, Blake and her legal team, and within her legal team. You need to ask yourself:

(1) Why would Blake, her legal team, or anyone associated with them share this information with Bryan Freedman's "bff"?

(2) Could there be another motive for Bryan Freedman's friend to spread this rumor on podcasts and talk shows? Is it possible that by speculating about these things that he could not possibly have any personal knowledge, of he gets a conversation started online that is unfavorable to Blake, which is positive for both his close friend, Bryan Freedman, and Freedman's clients?

If you've watched this entire case unfold and are still convinced that when a *clearly* biased person speculates wildly on camera, that must reflect the "real truth" that is being hidden from you by the "lame stream" media, then you have learned exactly nothing. [/quote]

Dp, but why would Brian Freedman care whether Blake is paying her lawyers or thinking about suing them?  Further, it is obvious that her lawyers made some very bad strategic calls, and that she ran up some very large bills.  Now maybe Blake and Ryan made those bad strategic calls with full warning from the lawyers of the consequences, or maybe the lawyers were hamstrung because there simply wasn't good evidence for Blake's claims, or she destroyed evidence before the legal case really got going.  Who knows?  But given how one sided the settlement was in WF's favor, how much she spent on legal fees, and the really questionable legal strategy, it isn't a reach that Blake and Ryan are looking for someone to blame.[/quote]
